15:12:44 <Luc> Topic: all documents
<Luc>Summary: we are aiming to complete the next iteration by the end of May, with a release for internal review scheduled for June 1st. The editors indicated what they were working on, and for prov-o, prov-dm, prov-n, prov-primer, believe that they are on schedule for a June 1st release. The prov-constraints editors seek further feedback from the reviewers and the group.
15:12:45 <dgarijo> Luc: editors have now de green light to proceed and contact the web master
15:12:59 <pgroth> @gk I'm on vacation next week so won't do anything then
15:13:05 <dgarijo> ... on f2f2 we agreed on a time table
15:13:27 <dgarijo> ... we have plans to release new version of the docs for internal review for Jun 1st
15:13:52 <dgarijo> ... we (Paul and I) would like to know the plans form various editors in order to achieve this.
15:13:53 <jun> s/Jun/June/
15:13:55 <Luc> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvDMWorkingDraft6
15:14:06 <dgarijo> @Jun thanks.
15:14:45 <dgarijo> Luc: we are going through the issues in the DM, will be dealing with bundles (hopefully today)
15:15:36 <dgarijo> ... in terms of prov-n we are finilizing the syntax of identifiers + outstanding issues. We think we will achieve the deadline. What do other editors plan to do?
15:15:46 <GK> @paul - I'm unclear about details of the publication procedure - I can have a go at the export and pubrules checking, but if I get stuck I guess it's not crucial if we don;'t make it until after next week?
15:16:33 <lebot> q+ to acknowledge 1 June is okay. On the plate: completing issues in tracker, refining the examples for each term, "catching up" to DM-*, and overall editing for clarity (with more narrative on terms).
15:16:54 <dgarijo> jamesC: The constraints haven't been reviewd yet. I hope to hear from Tim and Graham (not necessarily right now)
15:17:09 <dgarijo> s/reviewd/reviewed
15:17:09 <lebot> q+ again to james - he's ready for another review?
15:17:39 <dgarijo> ... I reorganized the doc.

15:18:46 <dgarijo> tlebo: I was waiting from James to say whether the doc war ready to be reviewed.
15:19:23 <dgarijo> jamesC: I'd like to know if previous issues have been fixed.

15:21:43 <dgarijo> lebot: The plan for the next 3 weeks is to create examples for every term and clean the issues
15:21:48 <Luc> ack leb
15:21:48 <Zakim> lebot, you wanted to acknowledge 1 June is okay. On the plate: completing issues in tracker, refining the examples for each term, "catching up" to DM-*, and overall editing for
15:21:52 <Zakim> ... clarity (with more narrative on terms).
15:22:14 <dgarijo> smiles: alternative formats for the examples (prov-o and prov-n, xml)
15:22:41 <dgarijo> ... (this is for the primer) Ask Stian and Paolo to see if ????
15:22:47 <Paolo> ok fine
15:23:16 <dgarijo> Luc: Graham and Paul, can you synchronize for the next release of the PAQ?
15:23:41 <smiles> @dgarijo We will ask Paolo and Stian to check the primer hasn't become out of date with respect to the DM and ontology respectively
15:23:52 <dgarijo> Paul: there are some issues about reorganization, I'll come back in a week
15:24:00 <dgarijo> @smiles, thanks
15:24:33 <dgarijo> Luc: have we got plans for releasing best practice documents?

15:26:22 <Luc> topic: WasQuotedFrom
<Luc>Summary: the proposal to rename WasQuotedFrom to WasAQuoteFrom was not endorsed. The group is invited to continue discussion by email.
15:26:32 <Luc> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2012May/0109.html
15:26:38 <Luc> Proposal: rename WasQuotedFrom into WasAQuoteFrom
15:26:52 <dgarijo> Luc: change wasQuotedFrom->wasAQuoteFrom?
15:27:03 <stainPhone> I'm struggling with Zakim passcode
15:27:11 <Luc> q?

15:27:53 <jun> I never had trouble with this property name. so -1 from me
15:28:01 <sandro> 0
15:28:03 <lebot> if it was a quote, what is it now?
15:28:08 <stainPhone> +1
15:28:42 <stainPhone> Now it really is a quote, not a "quoted"
15:28:46 <pgroth> he has a point
15:29:09 <dgarijo> Jun: it was clear for me before
15:29:18 <dgarijo> ... not convinced by the new name
15:29:26 <dgarijo> +q
15:29:34 <stainPhone> Domain of wasQ should be a quote, right?
15:29:42 <zednik> quote can be noun or verb, quoted is clear verb
15:29:52 <lebot> danielG: it's not clear, which is quoted, and which is quoted from? (it flips)
15:29:58 <stainPhone> Q+
15:30:12 <Luc> ack dga
15:30:19 <pgroth> q+
15:30:20 <lebot> danielG: DM def is clear, but from just the name it is confusing
15:30:52 <jun> How is that different from wasDerivedFrom?
15:31:00 <dgarijo> stian: I got the same feeling as Daniel. And probelms with the direction too.
15:31:00 <Luc> ack st
15:31:12 <Luc> ack pg
15:31:25 <lebot> @jun, the other nice aspect of wasQuotedFrom was its parallel to wasDerivedFrom.
15:31:34 <dgarijo> paul: given that there is no consensus, this has to be talked more on the mailing list.
15:31:37 <lebot> +1 to taking it back to email (sorry that I missed it)
15:31:38 <khalidbelhajjame> Given Tim comment, then isAQuoteFrom may be a better candidate
15:31:58 <jun> @lebot, yes. applying the pattern for names is also important for an ontology
15:31:58 <stainPhone> I agree with Daniel, it is important that lhs of wasQ is a quote, not what was quoted or something that contains a quote
15:32:12 <dgarijo> Luc: agreed, the discussion should come back to the mailing list.
15:32:13 <MacTed> "is" forces to "was" because of previous decisions to use past tense for all predicates
15:32:18 <Luc> q?
15:32:25 <lebot> yes, @khalid, isAQuoteFrom would work (but violate our "past tense")
15:32:31 <Luc> topic: WasStartedByActivity
<Luc>Summary: the proposal to drop WasStartedByActivity and to extend wasStartedBy with an optional starter activity was adopted.
15:32:43 <jun> @MacTed, provenance is meant to record history, imo
15:32:44 <dgarijo> @lebot: isAquoteFrom workf for me too...
15:32:55 <dgarijo> s/workf/works
15:33:15 <lebot> @dgarijo, yes, but how to deal with the tense inconsistency?
15:33:16 <satya> as Tim said, isAQuoteFrom is not "past" tense?
15:33:36 <Luc> https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/tip/model/working-copy/wd6-wasStartedBy.html
15:33:36 <pgroth> (also "a" in a predicate name is just wierd)
15:33:45 <stainPhone> Jun, could you make a "clear" example of the old wasQuotedFrom ?
15:33:47 <dgarijo> @lebot: I know, but I prefer the concept to be clear.
15:34:06 <khalidbelhajjame> @MacTed, @Jun, @Satya, maybe this example shows that past tense is not suitable for everything
15:34:11 <Luc> PROPOSAL: drop wasStartedByActivity and revise wasStartedBy as per https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/tip/model/working-copy/wd6-wasStartedBy.html; revise wasEndedBy similarly
15:34:17 <Luc> q?
15:34:24 <dgarijo> +q
15:35:10 <jun> @all, I think we should take the discussion onto the mailing list. Afraid we are cluttering the chat
15:35:12 <lebot> danielG: concern is for prov-o and [] wasEstablsihedBy (?). Could do it in a single statement, must now use a qualified relationship to express it.
15:35:17 <Luc> ack dga
15:35:34 <stainPhone> I still think it is clearer than yet another relationship
15:35:40 <lebot> @macted, that's were we started months ago (to expand the range)
15:35:45 <lebot> s/were/where/
15:35:50 <zednik> q+
15:36:30 <dgarijo> lebot: expanding the range og wasStartedBy was where we were several months ago
15:36:32 <stainPhone> We already had this issue for activity start time only
15:37:06 <dgarijo> lebot: I'm in favour of this proposal precisely because of the indirection
15:37:31 <dgarijo> stephanZ: do we have a wasTriggerebBy relationship
15:37:34 <dgarijo> Luc: no
15:37:52 <satya> @Zednick - we had it in an earlier version (wasTriggeredBy)
15:38:06 <Luc> ack zedn
15:38:17 <dgarijo> ... the start of an activity has a trigger which is an entity and we are allowing the activity to be there as well
15:38:17 <jun> @Zednick, I thought the current wasStartedByActivity is close to wasTriggeredBy of OPM
15:38:27 <Luc> q?

15:39:36 <Luc> Topic: Collections
<luc>Summary: Paul expressed his concern about the length of the collections section in the prov-o document. He suggested moving this section out of the prov-o document into a new, separate document, focusing on collections. The scope of such a potential new document was discussed. On the one hand, it could be pulling collection-related material from all the prov-o, prov-n, prov-constraints, and prov-dm documents to demonstrate how to apply PROV to a new application/domain. On the other hand, it could be lighter weight, combining some primer-style introduction with the prov-o collection section. Paul also brought up Graham's suggestion of restructuring prov-dm (not prov-o) into two separate documents, core vs extension. It was noted that this organization was originally adopted in prov-dm, but was abandoned because it lacked justification. It was also noted that editors are concerned by the amount of time involved in any form of restructuring, and that the group cannot afford multiple of those changes without affecting the release schedule. The group agreed that it needs concrete proposals to make decisions. Paolo and Graham volunteered to produce table of contents of potential documents. It is anticipated that the group will make a decision on this reorganization next week.
15:39:40 <dgarijo> Luc:collections
15:40:27 <dgarijo> pgroth: worried about the length of the section on collections.
15:40:39 <pgroth> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2012May/0051.html
15:40:48 <dgarijo> ... I made a proposal last week that we should separate collections from PROV-O
15:41:15 <dgarijo> ... pull collections from prov-DM and prov-o and just put them in a separate document
15:41:19 <pgroth> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2012May/0099.html
15:41:47 <dgarijo> ... Graham proposed to have a greater separation in the document. Breaking the model into core and extensions
15:42:47 <dgarijo> ... we already started with core and extensions, but in the end we put it all together. We would need to decide about this (break/not break )
15:43:04 <dgarijo> ... do we break just the collection or the rest of the concepts too?
15:43:34 <Luc> q?
15:43:38 <dgarijo> ... any comments on this?
15:44:09 <pgroth> there's a lot of echo
15:44:18 <pgroth> Zakim, who is making noise?
15:44:29 <Zakim> pgroth, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: ??P17 (100%), ??P45 (19%), ??P50 (40%)
15:44:46 <pgroth> Zakim, mute ??P50
15:44:46 <Zakim> sorry, pgroth, I do not know which phone connection belongs to ??P50
15:45:12 <dgarijo> lebot: the dictionaries section stands out as an outlier. The proposal made by Paul would allow us to focus on the principal aspects of prov-o. I would be very happy to get rid of the dictionaries section
15:45:46 <dgarijo> Luc: do you want to separate the namespace as well.
15:46:43 <Luc> q?
15:46:44 <pgroth> q+ to say that namespacing issues should be separated from this discussion
15:46:54 <dgarijo> lebot: Prov-o is aimed to be expanded and specialized. It would make sense to have another namespace as well
15:47:04 <Luc> ack pgr
15:47:04 <Zakim> pgroth, you wanted to say that namespacing issues should be separated from this discussion
15:47:08 <smiles> I agree with everything Tim said
15:47:25 <pgroth> ack pgroth
15:47:34 <dgarijo> pgroth: namespace discussion should be separated from the discussion of the documents. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
15:47:35 <Paolo> q?
15:47:37 <lebot> +1 pgroth, namespace is separate; it can be decided after the "split" to collections document.
15:47:58 <TomDN> q+ to ask which other concepts would be reorganized if we were to go for option 2?
15:48:01 <Paolo> I have already expressed my support for this proposal
15:48:01 <Luc> q?
15:48:24 <Luc> ack TomDN
15:48:24 <Zakim> TomDN, you wanted to ask which other concepts would be reorganized if we were to go for option 2?
15:48:32 <Paolo> q+
15:48:37 <pgroth> @TomDN I have no idea
15:48:39 <dgarijo> tom: wondering if we were to go for the second option, which other terms would be removed for the core?
15:48:42 <lebot> @tomdn, http://aquarius.tw.rpi.edu/prov-wg/prov-o#description-expanded-terms ?
15:48:44 <pgroth> it would be a huge debate
15:49:00 <stainPhone> I have to go, but I would vote for extension doc. We can then see if wasQuoteOf belong there as well.
15:49:04 <lebot> most of those are specializations (e.g. Person sub Agent)
15:49:05 <GK> My criteria for deciding core vs extension is fairly clear (to me). The "core" is a structural pattern that applies to most if not all of the provenance terms, and is fairly light on specific knowledge. The extension parts layer more detailed specific knowledge over the basic structure, without adding new structure. (Roughly, this means that any new classes and properties can be defined as subclasses and subproperties of the structural core, or additional attrib
15:49:21 <dgarijo> Graham: almost everything but the current starting points.
15:50:26 <dgarijo> ... some of the discussion of the terms is difficult for non provenance experts to pick up.
15:50:36 <dgarijo> ... the basic structural properties are very clear
15:50:52 <dgarijo> ... the issue of core vs extensions came previously
15:51:10 <Luc> q?
15:51:37 <Luc> ack pao
15:52:31 <dgarijo> Paolo: about the structure of collections: if we separate collections, would them all be in the same monolithic thing?
15:52:38 <dgarijo> ... (dm+ontology+examples)
15:52:44 <Luc> q?
15:52:46 <dgarijo> ... or separated documents.
15:52:48 <pgroth> q+
15:53:21 <dgarijo> pgroth: editorially, it's a lot of work.
15:53:53 <pgroth> ack pgroth
15:53:53 <lebot> -1 to major redo for each "section" - yipes!
15:53:59 <Luc> q+
15:54:08 <dgarijo> ... I'm afraid that even with a major redo we won't address graham's omments
15:54:09 <pgroth> ack Luc
15:55:07 <dgarijo> luc: this notion of starting points doesn't necessarily map to all technologies. What is in starting points is really the binary relationships.
15:55:16 <SamCoppens1> SamCoppens1 has joined #prov
15:55:19 <dgarijo> ... in other technologies, this is not the case.
15:55:48 <TomDN_> TomDN_ has joined #prov
15:55:51 <dgarijo> .... I see this as a challenge
15:56:05 <dgarijo> ... how do we move on?
15:56:09 <TomDN_> @GK: I think it's a good idea, but it's a slippery slope if we don't clearly define what the "core" is. Like Paul said, it could lead to a huge discussion.
15:56:17 <dgarijo> paul: some consensus aboyt separating collections
15:56:34 <MacTed> I see a LOT of potential reward from the described re-org. but it would undeniably be a huge effort.
15:56:44 <lebot> @tomdn, the prov-o team has some experience is determining which constructs are in which partition.
15:56:49 <dgarijo> ... what do the group the think about the core proposal?
15:56:52 <GK> @TomDN - did you seem the text I pasted above?
15:56:59 <lebot> @tomdn, the owl file has annotations for those partitions.
15:57:26 <smiles> +q
15:57:27 <dgarijo> ... by next telecon it would be great to have concrete proposals so we can vote
15:57:33 <SamCoppens> SamCoppens has joined #prov
15:57:40 <TomDN_> TomDN_ has joined #prov
15:57:41 <Luc> ack smi
15:57:44 <GK> It's basically the three core concepts, plus the top-level properties that connect them in various ways.
15:57:55 <TomDN_> (sorry, IRC keeps timing out)
15:58:13 <TomDN_> +q
15:58:21 <dgarijo> ... I don't really get the problem. I can understand the collections out, but I'll wait for the proposal
15:58:23 <Luc> ack tom
15:58:46 <dgarijo> tom: maybe we should do this execrise with collections and then we get an idea of seeing how much work is that
15:58:48 <pgroth> this is a major major piece of work
15:59:17 <dgarijo> Luc: I'm not in favour of these experiments because it is a lot of editing
15:59:28 <dgarijo> ... I don't want to do that iteratively
15:59:32 <GK> q+ to say that I don't propose splitting the PROV-O
15:59:40 <Paolo> Collections are pervasive (except the primer) -- change impacts everything
15:59:44 <Luc> q?
15:59:45 <dgarijo> Tom: agreed, specially in this stage of the process.
15:59:46 <khalidbelhajjame> Instead of removing parts of the document, which I am reluctant to, I would prefer restructering
15:59:51 <lebot> @luc, we need to find some way to relax the weight that Collections puts on all of the documents.
16:00:06 <jcheney> q+
16:00:06 <Paolo> q+
16:00:29 <lebot> @gk, could you paraphrase waht you just said?
16:00:46 <pgroth> he said he only wants to only adjust the dm document
16:00:55 <dgarijo> Luc: you propose not to touch the ontology but to change the DM
16:01:13 <dgarijo> GK: yes
16:01:31 <Paolo> q+ to say that I wouldn't want readers to be forced into the ontology in order to understand a provenance model
16:01:41 <Luc> ack gk
16:01:41 <Zakim> GK, you wanted to say that I don't propose splitting the PROV-O
16:01:43 <dgarijo> Luc: so you are not seeing the DM document as a reference document.
16:02:06 <pgroth> q+ to say this was already decided at F2F
16:02:09 <dgarijo> GK: I think it has a central role in the family of specification. It should be an introduction + reference for the structure.
16:02:25 <dgarijo> jamesC: are we going to commit to this change now?
16:02:38 <Luc> ack jch
16:02:42 <SamCoppens> SamCoppens has joined #prov
16:03:12 <dgarijo> ... I would be inclined to say: first create a document with all the collections and not delete the stuff from the current documents
16:03:17 <MacTed> I'm sorry to say, but it's important to -- past decisions aren't always correct. revisions happen. just because something was decided at F2F doesn't mean it will stick throughout.
16:03:41 <dgarijo> Luc: we will come with proposals next week for restructure the docs.
16:03:48 <Luc> q?
16:04:05 <satya> sorry have to leave
16:04:12 <khalidbelhajjame> Size should not be seen as an issue, if people want to read a short document, they can read the primer
16:04:42 <dgarijo> Paolo: there was a discussion on the face to face on whether the ontology should be an entry point or not.
16:04:49 <Luc> q?
16:04:55 <Luc> ack paol
16:04:55 <Zakim> Paolo, you wanted to say that I wouldn't want readers to be forced into the ontology in order to understand a provenance model
16:05:00 <dgarijo> ... the ontology is an encoding, not the reference for an entry point
16:05:11 <dgarijo> ... it is ONE of the possible encodings
16:05:53 <TomDN> readers can of course always skip the section on collections and still understand the rest of the DM :)
16:06:04 <dgarijo> paul: summary: primer is good. Provo would be improved if we removed collections. Prov DM should be reorganized (proposals the next week)
16:06:27 <dgarijo> luc: what is the next step. Is it to create concrete proposals ?
16:06:30 <dgarijo> paul: yes
16:06:55 <dgarijo> ... this is all about organization, not editorial per se. We need to keep the text that was written
16:07:14 <dgarijo> luc: who would write which proposal?
16:07:17 <GK> q+
16:07:22 <pgroth> ack pgroth
16:07:22 <Zakim> pgroth, you wanted to say this was already decided at F2F
16:07:26 <Luc> ack gk
16:07:43 <dgarijo> graham: I guess this forces me to create one with core + extension of dm
16:07:48 <dgarijo> luc: please use wiki
16:07:51 <dgarijo> GK: sure
16:08:03 <dgarijo> luc: volunteers for a collection document?
16:08:50 <dgarijo> .... we may have several proposals on the table: (TIM) We use this as a mechanism to show how the model can be extended.
16:09:09 <Paolo> q+
16:09:09 <dgarijo> ... another which is lightweight is to separate collections in another document.
16:09:32 <dgarijo> Paolo: I really had the first in mind. I can write an outline
16:10:23 <pgroth> so paolo will do it
16:10:28 <pgroth> :-)
16:10:28 <lebot> Like Paolo, I had the first in mind too. Take Collections from everything into a new document.
16:10:40 <lebot> I'll help Paolo :-0
16:10:58 <TomDN> if any of the proposals need help, id be happy to help as well
16:11:00 <Luc> topic: bundle
<Luc>Summary: A draft text has been produced in response to issues raised about accounts and notes. This text will be incorporated in the editor's draft soon. The working group is invited to provide feedback.
16:11:02 <Paolo> great Tim, much appreciated

16:11:25 <pgroth> @TomDN maybe you want to discuss with GK
16:11:28 <dgarijo> Luc: in the last iteration we didn't work on accounts.
16:11:33 <TomDN> sure
16:11:37 <dgarijo> ... Tim and GK had comments on accounts
16:12:09 <dgarijo> ... if you follow that document you'll see an outline of what would go into DM for expressing provenance of provenance
16:12:24 <GK> I thought we had discussed keeping the term "Account", but just to denote a bundle of proveance statement?
16:12:33 <dgarijo> ... relation hadProvenanceIn inspired by PAQ
16:13:15 <Luc> q?
16:13:20 <dgarijo> ... I invite you to have a look at the document and start discussion on the mailing list
